Beehive

Beekeeper removes the wax cap Worker honeybees, (Apis mellifera) fill the hexagonal chambers of a frame with honey made from nectar. The domesticated bee is given a frame with hexagonal foundations, several such frames forming a hive. The chambers are built up from wax secreted by the bee, filled with honey & capped again with wax. The keeper removes the frames in late summer to prevent the bees feeding on the honey over winter. He replaces it with syrup. Frames similar to these are used as breeding chambers where the queen lays her eggs.
